Japanese soccer defeated China and maintained second place in the group that could go straight to the World Cup finals.
Japan defeated China 2-0 in the 7th home match of the World Cup final qualifier by scoring a penalty kick by Osaka and scoring in three consecutive games by Ito.
Japan remained 2nd in Group B with 15 points, while China, who stayed in 5th place, was unable to proceed directly to the finals.
Vietnam, led by coach Park Hang-seo, lost their place in the World Cup after a 4-0 defeat to Australia.
Vietnam, which entered the final qualifier for the first time in history, is at the bottom of the table without a single point after losing 7 matches, so even if they win the remaining three matches, they cannot win a ticket to Qatar.
